"Jerry Tindell Talks About..." series

In this series of videos by "Video Mike" Kerson, Jerry works with horses, mules, and ordinary folks at some of his clinics - teaching them how to develop safe, willing equine partners.

These videos have been carefully planned to keep the viewer's attention, and to provide information in a way that viewers can actually use. These are not just "Look What I Can Do!" videos, where an expert shows off his skills but may not actually teach the viewer what to do at home with his/her own animal. Actual clinic participants, in their process of learning to become effective horse and mule handlers, work through a variety of situations, with Jerry's expert direction.

The music, by former "Sons of the Pioneers" singer/songwriter/musician Rusty Richards and singer/songwriter/performer Dave Stamey, combined with beautiful photography, make these films a feast for the senses as well as the mind.

Guaranteed not to put you to sleep!

"GROUND WORK"
You Ride the Horse You Lead

Learn to communicate effectively with your horse, using only halter and lead rope. Build a solid foundation for safe and pleasurable riding and driving.

Problems on the halter and lead rope predict problems under saddle or in harness. Problems in the saddle reflect problems you see every day while caring for your horse on the ground.

If you learn to communicate effectively with your horse or mule from the lead rope, you'll know what to do in the saddle, even when unexpected things come your way.

Shying, pushiness, running off, "barn sour" resistance, panicking - all these and other common problems can be safely and effectively worked out through halter work on the ground. 



The video focuses on these essential Ground Skills:

  • Softening at the poll/Lowering the head

  • Back Up from 4 Positions

  • Ground Driving

  • Driving in a Circle

  • Yielding the Hindquarters

  • Shoulder Yield

  • Leading

  • Standing Still

Just wanted to say if anyone is looking for a good starting place with their horses, this video was a great investment!

Mike Kerson did the video work and it is excellent - the editing is smooth and logical and the sound is always clear and easy to hear.

Jerry clearly presents the exercises and explains them in a way that even novices can understand. It was clear to me how each exercise would lead directly into good riding experiences.

 
Mike (Mike Dibble, the video recipient)  was quickly able to teach Cuervo all the exercises. They were doing so well I suggested he try them from Cuervo's back.

Prior to this, Cuervo had just been mounted and led around for short walks. Mike mounted up, and to our great pride, Cuervo walked out with a light leg cue and cluck, willingly turned both directions, stopped when asked and even backed with just very light rein cues...and, he has never worn a bit...
